The N5K-M1404 is a Cisco Nexus 5000 generic expansion module (GEM) with four 10G SFP+ ports and four 4-, 2- or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel ports. The Fibre Channel ports are SFP-based, and the four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports are encryption capable.
This GEM is a field-replaceable unit with a captive screw, a handle and a status LED on the front panel. With it installed in a Nexus 5010 switch, ports 1 through 4 of port group 2 are the encrypted Ethernet ports and ports 5 through 8 are the Fibre Channel ports.
The Nexus 5010 has one slot on the back for an optional uplink GEM, and the N5K-M1404 is one of four modules that fit it, along with the N5K-M1600, N5K-M1008 and N5K-M1060. The 5010 has 20 base ports and the chassis supports hot swapping of expansion modules. The N5K-M1008 8-port Fibre Channel module fits the same slot.
